Review

'Vital to the future of architectural dialect ... an awesome turn-on'
--Architects' Journal

`This book is aimed at those for whom fractal is not a dirty word...Inside the subdued cover of this modestly sized book you will find analysis, description and beautiful photographs...if architecture is like frozen music then this is a big mash-up of Prog Rock and Stockhausen.And that cannot be a bad thing'
--RIAS Quarterly
